Abstract
In order to ensure the vital activity of specialized teams when performing work in conditions of low or high temperatures, a special means of supplying and maintaining water is required. They must ensure the required water temperature for a long time and must be modular, and their design must allow transportation by all types of transport. A drinking water module is proposed, including a container body with a main tank, receiving and distributing devices, auxiliary equipment for receiving and distributing water, heat generating, heating, and ventilation devices. The container for storing water is made in the form of a cylindrical vessel. The walls of the tank are thermally insulated using a special innovative material.The tank is heated using a heating cable. Long-term storage of water is ensured by the inclusion of a device for ultraviolet treatment in the design. Weight and overall characteristics of the container body provide the ability to transport it on the base chassis of a general-purpose truck. The presence of loading and lashing eyes provide the possibility of loading and unloading it, as well as reloading into other types of transport. The results of experimental studies made it possible to develop recommendations for automating the operation of the tank heating system depending on the ambient temperature. The indicators of corrosion resistance and thermal conductivity of the heat-insulating layer have been confirmed. The introducing the developed drinking water module is envisaged for the life support of special teams and teams performing work in special conditions at a considerable distance from infrastructure facilities.

Keywords: drinking water, storage, special conditions, module, modification, means of delivery.
